💡 A Plague Tale: Requiem: The rat-swarm scenes are very demanding - Effects Quality matters most there.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 70 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 43 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
